Nika Muhl, once a standout player for UConn Huskies, faces difficulties as a newcomer in the WNBA. Since being selected in the second round, she has not gotten much playing time with the Seattle Storm. Concerns about her future have arisen due to her difficulties on the court. Regrettably, her debut with Besiktas did not go as planned as she experienced an evident knee injury.
A Tough Start in Europe
During her debut match for Besiktas against Fenerbahce, Muhl demonstrated her talents by scoring 11 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, and dishing out 9 assists in almost 28 minutes of play. Nevertheless, her performance was eclipsed by the injury that led to her exiting the game prematurely. UConn journalist Daniel Connolly posted worrisome update on Twitter: “Nika Mühl suffered a potential knee injury during her debut game in Europe.” I hope it’s not as serious as it appeared.
Looking Ahead
In spite of the injury scare, Muhl is still committed to returning to the game. Following a challenging season in the WNBA, she aimed to revitalize her career in Europe. Yet, this obstacle might set back her advancement. With a 79-63 win for Fenerbahce, attention now turns to Muhl’s well-being and rehabilitation. Her fans and teammates are optimistic that the injury is not serious and that she can make a quick return to the court.
